At dusk, the remnant sun is like blood, falling little by little, reflecting the green mountains in the sky, and it looks even more red and brilliant.
Just like the sunset, the bloody battle of Zhongnan Mountain also came to an end.
Liang Qiufeng stood in the courtyard, looking at the sky with his hands behind his back, and had a different kind of affection in his heart-during the previous war, the family members of the Sword Mansion were all transferred to the important places in the back mountains for the first time, and now that the waves have subsided, they walked back and returned to the house.
Therefore, he was only frightened, and there was no other harm. In fact, the fright was more because of worrying about Liang Qiufeng's safety.
Now that Liang Qiufeng has returned home safely, the girl is naturally no longer afraid.
She began to arrange dinner.
But soon, a disciple came and whispered a few words in Liang Qiufeng's ear.
Liang Qiufeng's eyes lit up, and he turned around and shouted, "I'm going to go out, if you come back late, you can eat first." ”
Xiao Xiao replied: "You go and get busy, I'll wait for you to come back and eat together." ”
She is also a stubborn person, if Liang Qiufeng does not come back for this meal, she will never move her chopsticks.
There was a warm ripple in his heart, and Liang Qiufeng took a big step and ran to the back mountain.
Desolate mountain passes, desolate thatched huts, sparsely surrounded by trees. This was the most unnoticed place on Zhongnan Mountain, but now it has become the most eye-catching place in the Sword Mansion.
Because the old man who hits the bell lives here.
Where a martial king is, how can it be ordinary?
At present, Zhang Xingkong has issued a ban to divide the nearby area into a forbidden area, and there are guard disciples patrolling and guarding the periphery, and idlers are not allowed to enter.
Liang Qiufeng's arrival was unimpeded, and there was already a saying in the Sword Mansion that Liang Qiufeng had to pass on the sword from Uncle Mengtai, which was equivalent to a beginner disciple.
Disciple of King Wu!
No wonder Liang Qiufeng can rise like a comet. Phi Jian is stubborn, invincible, and even beheaded talented young people such as Gao Beihe Pan Dongliu.
Now, in the entire wasteland, the throne of the first person of the new generation of martial artists undoubtedly belongs to Liang Qiufeng.
As the sun is shining, nothing more than that.
In the Sword Mansion, Liang Qiufeng's status has risen even higher, and he has become the peer of the mansion lords and elders. and a hero in the minds of his disciples.
The limelight is even about to overshadow the first day of the Sword Mansion: Long Xiangtian!
When I came to the door of the thatched hut, I just wanted to raise my hand and knock on the door, but there was a babbling sound, and the door opened automatically, and the voice of the old man came out: "Come in." ”
Liang Qiufeng walked in. When I looked up, I saw that the layout inside was extremely simple, just a bed and a futon. Other than that, there was nothing long, not even a table and stool.
The old man sat on the futon, looking at Liang Qiufeng with burning eyes.
"I've seen Uncle Taishi. ”
Liang Qiufeng hurriedly saluted.
The old man waved his hand. Signaling that there is no need to be polite, he said, "Sit down." ”
There was no chair, so Liang Qiufeng sat directly on the floor.
The old man asked indifferently, "Your name is 'Liang Qiufeng'?"
"Yes. ”
"Liang Qiu is a compound surname. ”
Hear the words. Liang Qiufeng's heart sank, and he felt that the old man's gaze at things was extremely spicy: "Not bad." ”
The old man smiled and said seemingly unintentionally, "I once visited Gaozhou, where there is a big family. It is the compound surname 'Liangqiu'...... Hehe, it's all a distant memory. Looks like I'm getting old. I can't help but reminisce about the past. ”
He didn't delve into this issue, and he didn't seem to notice the sudden change in Liang Qiufeng's face when he mentioned "Gao Zhou".
As soon as the topic changed, he suddenly asked, "Feng, what do you think of the current Sword Mansion?"
Since Liang Qiufeng's compound surname has been determined, the old man will not be called "Qiu Feng" like others.
Liang Qiufeng took a breath, calmed his heart slightly, thought about it, and then replied seriously: "The disciple thinks that if it is possible, he might as well migrate to other continents. ”
The old man was stunned and looked at him with hooked eyes: "Why do you have this idea?"
Liang Qiufeng met his gaze and said calmly: "The current environment of the Wasteland is well known to have a large loss of heaven and earth vitality, and it is not as good as a year after year. Although the dragon vein will be repaired automatically, it will slowly improve. But the years are long, and by that time, I don't know how many hundred years it will take. Therefore, if the Sword Mansion wants to recover and grow, it must change the environment. Staying in the wasteland, even if it overwhelms Tiandumen and others, it is only a corner of peace. ”
The old man listened, and said, "Do you know that if you said this a hundred years ago, you would have been tortured by a hundred swords piercing your heart." ”
Liang Qiufeng was taken aback: "Why?"
"Giving up the ancestral business and leaving the country is called 'great rebellion'. ”
Hearing this, Liang Qiufeng finally understood what was going on. After thinking about it carefully, I can't help but wonder: a sect like Jianfu has been established for thousands of years, passed down from generation to generation, and is deeply rooted, and attaches great importance to the local concept. In their opinion, Zhongnan Mountain represents a qiē, if they leave Zhongnan Mountain and go to other mountains in other continents, then Zhongnan Sword Mansion is still the original Sword Mansion?
This is absolutely unacceptable for some people who are more conservative in their ideas.
The old man said again: "Also, do you think it is so easy to move the sect to another place? Although the nine continents in the world are vast, there are already other sects entrenched in some places. As far as I know, over the past few hundred years, there have been many great sects that have migrated and left, and only a few of them may have gained a foothold in other continents and have been able to develop and grow. More of them are struggling to survive, or even being swallowed up by annexation, with a tragic end. ”
Liang Qiufeng was not a stupid person, he quickly thought clearly about the various stakes, and said: "Uncle Taishi's admonition is true, and it is the disciple who takes it for granted, and he is making a lot of nonsense. ”
The old man sighed: "These words, you have to mention them again in the future, you may not know that the catastrophe a hundred years ago, it was not a natural disaster, but." The disaster caused Xiao Wall, because some people proposed to move the sect to Shenzhou, but the other part of the people resolutely refused to allow it, and the two sides fought infighting, so that there was a big war and cannibalism, and finally the sword mansion lost countless masters, and the vitality was greatly damaged. ”
Hearing this, Liang Qiufeng was shocked: it turned out that the truth of the matter was like this. For a long time, I always heard about the catastrophe that the Sword Mansion suffered a hundred years ago, and I always thought that there was a strong enemy invasion, or something else. I never thought that it was caused by my own internal strife and my brother's eye on the wall.
No wonder this matter has always been regarded as taboo, and disciples are never allowed to talk about it.
Such secrets. It's no different from a family ugly.
Liang Qiufeng suddenly asked, "Then why didn't Uncle Tai stop it at that time?"
The old man shook his head, and his face showed confusion: "That night, I remember very clearly, it was the eighteenth day of the lunar month, and it was snowing heavily; that night, people seemed to be crazy, waving their long swords, killing the people closest to them, and that night, blood was shed all night. The snow on the ground was dyed red, and that night, I only watched coldly, and remembered my master's admonition: The most terrible thing in the world is the human heart...... Why didn't I make a move? Why did I make a move? The master instructed me on his deathbed to guard the mountain gate and prevent foreign enemies from invading. But it didn't say what to do when your own people killed your own people!"
His expression was confused and mixed with pain, and his tone became colder and colder, as if he felt extremely disappointed.
Yes, the sect is red, cannibalistic, and plays the role of a guardian. Looking at it, how can you not feel sad and disappointed?
The old man was hidden in the sect, and he must have been stimulated by this. Reading between the lines, some more ancient secrets may be deduced. For example, the real identity of the elderly may not be as simple as it seems.
It's just that there are many things, unless the old man voluntarily breaks out, no matter how others speculate. It's infinitely close to the truth, but it doesn't mean it's the truth.
Hear about the secrets of such sects. Liang Qiufeng couldn't help but be frightened, and found that sometimes he thought about things, but it was still too simple.
The old man slowly calmed down the waves on his feelings, and said: "I am telling you this, just to sue you, one sect, it is not easy to manage, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of no return." ”
Liang Qiufeng scratched his head, a little unclear. He understood the reason, but he wondered why the old man would mention this stubble, knowing that he was just an inner disciple now.
As if seeing his doubts, the old man smiled and said, "There are talented people in the country, and the Sword Mansion will need to be updated sooner or later." Besides, there are responsibilities that you have to take on since you understand the secret of the bells. I don't say some things now, I just don't want to put too much pressure on you. The most important thing for you now is to cultivate and cultivate, and if you improve your cultivation, you will have the strength to implement your ambitions. That ambition even includes the ideal of moving the sect. As long as you have the strength, you can achieve it. ”
Liang Qiufeng heard the earnest hope in his words, and was surprisingly consistent with the previous Elder Xiao Jihai, stood up, and said solemnly, "I will." ”
"Alright, that's all that's been said, you can go back. ”
The old man waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guest.
"Ah, that's it?"
Liang Qiufeng touched his nose and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Tai, you specially called me here, shouldn't you teach me some unique knowledge?"
The old man laughed: "You have comprehended the sword question of practicing the sword bell, and you have learned the "Sword Heart Carving Dragon Yongzi Eight Swords", what else do you need to learn?"
Liang Qiufeng said abruptly: "But this exercise is too profound and difficult to understand, and I can't understand it for a while, so I want to ask Uncle Tai for some advice." ”
The old man stretched out his hands and shrugged, "I'm sorry, I won't." ”
"What?"
Liang Qiufeng almost screamed.
The old man sighed: "This is a collection of masterpieces, in addition to the master, it is estimated that you are the second person who is likely to learn and perfect." It all depends on your creation and hard work. I sincerely hope that in my lifetime, I will see someone fulfill my master's long-cherished wish. The master used to climb the platform and wrote a poem: I don't see the ancients before, I don't see the people who come after, I read the world and the world, and I am alone and crying. I've never understood what it means, but in recent years, I've started to understand it a little. ”
When he left the thatched hut, Liang Qiufeng's brain was still a little dizzy, and when he talked to the old man, he was so shocked that it was difficult to accept and digest it for a while.
Walking on the mountain road, blown by the cold mountain wind, his thoughts finally slowly became firm: follow the road, just go down. The scenery you see on the road and the people you meet should not be a factor in stagnation.
Because once it stops, it's probably forever.
